“Xiaozi was amazing at taking care of our two cats. She was communicative and detail oriented with feeding schedules and routines, including using automatic and timed feeders. Her updates are always thoughtful and you can tell her cares deeply about the pets she cares for. I felt at ease the whole time and trusted her expertise!”

“I can’t recommend Samantha highly enough! From start to finish, she was dependable, friendly, clearly cared about my two kitties and took the time to build a real bond with them. When the app wasn’t accessible, she was incredibly accommodating and kept in touch over email without missing a beat. I received videos and daily photos, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. I’ll absolutely be booking again, and I’d trust her with my kitties anytime.”

“Dymond took absolutely fantastic care of Justin. She is thorough, asks great questions, and you can tell she genuinely cares. I received a detailed Rover Card each day with the cutest pics, which put my mind at ease while leaving my kitty at home for a week. We will be rebooking the next time we are away and cannot recommend Dymond enough!”

About: With over seven years of professional experience in animal care, I’m passionate about providing safe, compassionate, and reliable care for every pet I meet. My background includes managing a busy doggy daycare, working as a veterinary assistant in a veterinary hospital, earning my PetSmart Pet Care Certification, and providing dependable in-home pet sitting for families. I’m experienced with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments, and I’m comfortable administering medications and recognizing signs that may require extra attention. Whether your pet needs drop-in visits, overnight care in your home, daily walks, playtime, or extra TLC, you can feel confident knowing they’ll be treated with the same love, patience, and attention I’d give my own. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets. Whether you need weekday visits, weekend care, overnight stays, or last-minute drop-ins, I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. I believe pets thrive when they receive consistent care and attention, and I have the time to make sure they get exactly that while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or welcoming them into mine, I’ll make sure they receive the same love, patience, and attention I’d give my own pets. I understand that every animal has unique routines, preferences, and needs, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel most comfortable. In your home, I’ll respect your space, follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, provide plenty of updates with photos, and make sure your home is left just as I found it. If your pet is staying with me, they’ll have a clean, safe, and calm environment with constant supervision, plenty of enrichment, exercise, fresh water, and lots of affection. With my background as a doggy daycare manager, veterinary assistant, and professional pet sitter, I’m experienced in recognizing changes in behavior or health, administering medications when needed, and responding calmly in unexpected situations. My goal is to build a trusting relationship with both you and your pet, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, experienced hands while you’re away.

About: Hi! I’m Parvin, a data scientist who works from home and a true cat lover. 🐱❤️ I had a wonderful cat named Piorot for a year. He was a beautiful Persian and British mix, and he completely made me fall in love with cats and their unique personalities. Although I don’t currently have a cat of my own, I have experience taking care of my friends’ cats while they are traveling. Since I work from home and live by myself, I can provide a quiet, comfortable, and peaceful environment with plenty of attention and companionship for your cat. I would be happy to host your cat in my home, or I can provide drop-in visits at your home while you’re away. I know how important it is to feel confident that your cat is safe, comfortable, and loved when you’re traveling. I’ll treat your little angel with lots of love, patience, and care, just as I would my own. 🐾 I’d love to meet you and your kitty and help make your time away a little more worry-free! ❤️ I work from home as a data scientist, so I’m home most of the day and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to give your cat plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m available for both cat boarding in my home and drop-in visits, including weekdays and weekends. I live by myself in a quiet, clean home, so your cat can enjoy a peaceful and comfortable environment without the stress of other animals. I understand that every cat has a different personality and routine, and I will carefully follow your instructions for feeding, litter care, playtime, and any other needs. For drop-in visits, I will treat your home and your cat with the same care and respect I would want for my own.

About: What sets me apart is that I’m a Certified Veterinary Technician (CVT) with over 8 years of professional animal-care experience. I’ve spent 4½ years at Banfield Pet Hospital and 4 years at All Dogs Club, where I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, seniors, high energy dogs, shy or anxious dogs, and dogs who need medications or extra attention. I understand the importance of maintaining their routines, providing positive reinforcement, and giving each dog the individual care they need. As a dog mom to 3 dogs myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pup with someone else. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, comfortable, and right at home while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, and I’m able to plan my availability around my work schedule. I currently work Sunday from 3–11 PM and Monday–Tuesday from 2–11 PM, which leaves me available during the mornings and early afternoons on those days. I also have greater flexibility Wednesday through Saturday. With my veterinary background, I’m dependable, organized, and comfortable building pet care into my routine. I’ll make sure your pet receives the attention, exercise, companionship, and consistency they need while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications, and plenty of love and attention. As a CVT, I’m experienced in recognizing changes in behavior and overall well-being, and I’m comfortable caring for pets with different ages, personalities, and needs. In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure their pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I also have 3 dogs and 2 cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets and your home.

“Nicole loves cats and you can tell. She gave Mr. Bingley sweet care and attention. She was very good about sending pictures and videos to let me know he was doing well while I was away. There was a stressful situation with the petsitter before her, and Nicole handled it all with grace, professionalism and assurance to me that all was well. That was greatly appreciated. Thanks very much Nicole for taking such good care of Mr. B.”

She left a little summary on the rover card of what she did and how Bun was, and included a few photos for each drop in so I could see that Bun was doing well. I would definitely recommend booking Riley!”

That being said I would absolutely book Xiaoyi without any hesitation or reservation. If you like someone who is very attentive communicative and very caring, please look no further. While I was away on my trip, she kept me informed with pictures and text messages on my dogs experience. I look forward to working with her in the future! 10 out of 10 experience!!!”

We are relatively new to this area and were a little reluctant to let someone we didn't know visit our house and take care of our cat. We feel very lucky for finding Ariana. She did a wonderful job taking care of Dashy and communicating with us. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter.”

About: I'm semi-retired but really like helping people out. I know having pets can be stressful when you are away. I am here to make it less stressful and let you enjoy your vacation or focus on your work while you are away. I am semi-retired so I am flexible most days of the week (within reason as I do maintain a tech consulting firm). Weekends are possible, again, with enough notice and based on my own travel schedule. My wife and I have two cats, and when people come to check in on our cats, we expect them to be attentive to the whole house. Is water running? Does anything look amiss? A pet sitter is your eyes and ears...even if you have cameras all over your house. Having a dependable person visit your house lets you enjoy your vacation or give you peace of mind during the workday.

About: I am a nature lover, enjoying a healthy balance between being active and being a homebody. My top qualities are patience, attention to detail, and communication. I work well with anxious pets and senior pets needing extra attention. As a plus, I live with my family who all love and have had pets throughout their lives. I’m currently working part-time Monday through Friday. I usually leave for work at 1:30pm, and return home by 8:00pm. However, I always have at least two people at home so your pets will never be alone (or have to go too long without potty breaks) if you are boarding them here. I am available for boarding any night, and will gladly adjust my weekend plans depending on your pet’s attachment level. I love staying active, and enrichment for any animal is one of my top priorities. I live with my family in a safe and quiet neighborhood within walking distance of a large regional park with plenty of trails. I also have a basement and a large yard to accommodate your loved one’s comfort level. When visiting my clients’ homes I take extra care to adhere to their pets’ routines, habits, and preferences.

As the wife of a veterinarian, I’m probably a little more particular than most when it comes to who I trust with our animals, and Michelle immediately put us at ease. She has a wonderful understanding of animal behavior and, just as importantly, knows how to properly approach and introduce herself to unfamiliar animals. Her background in animal control really gives her an advantage, and it was evident from the moment we met her. We have a grumpy, sometimes unpredictable dog and a skittish cat, so finding the right person isn't always easy. But after watching Michelle interact with both of them (she prefers a meet & greet prior to booking,) we had absolutely no hesitation leaving them in her care. Her communication was fantastic throughout our trip, with plenty of pictures and updates on the boys. It was so nice to be away and not have to worry about how things were going at home. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Michelle and would absolutely use her again in a heartbeat. Finding someone who genuinely understands animal behavior and can confidently handle different personalities is invaluable!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Hickory Ridge

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Hickory Ridge is $27 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $37 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 8,138 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Hickory Ridge. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hickory Ridge. On Rover:

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
